  • Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Not upheld

The complainant asked for a copy of any documents produced and presented to Birmingham City Council (the Council) by developers St Joseph/Berkeley Homes as part of its bid for a major contract. The Council stated that there is no indicative masterplan developed by Berkeley Homes for the said project.

However, the Council later relied on regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR to withhold information in scope of the request.

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(e) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner finds a breach of regulation 5(2) regarding the delay in responding to the request.

The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
